Online Auction
Online Auctions are one of the hottest Internet applications right now. Get in on the action by offering auctions to your members - especially if you'd like the option of receiving a transaction fee every time someone places an item up for auction!
Use auctions for both B2B and B2C solutions. Create a business-to-business exchange portal, or an E-Bay clone. Address business needs such as liquidating excess inventory, increasing revenue for scare items and creating Internet marketplaces. Gain competitive advantages such as expanding buyer access and product reach, building targeted databases and determining product pricing in dynamic test markets.
Best of all, you can add multimedia to item descriptions. Members can attach multiple images, sounds, and video clips to each ad. Imagine reader response when they can view a digital video demo of a product, a walk-through of a home, or a sound-bite of a piece of music!
Be your own E-Bay! (and control all the transactions yourself!)
